10 pound lean muscle loss in 16 days?

Hello

Number of leg days per week----Is more better?
Hi, So I only do 30 minute leg workouts, combining weighted squats, dead lifts and Romanian deadlifts. Can I do this every other day or is that too much. On the other days, I do a 30 minute pretty intense trail bike ride to get my cardio in (I have heart issues so cardio is important for me to do). Thanks for any advise!
Ready for change!
Hello, with my 30s approaching fast I've decide to begin my fitness journey! My goals are to get toned and strong but not buff. Losing weight wouldn't hurt either but not the main goal. Feel free to add me as I fall off exercise easily and have poor eating habits. I love food 😅 Wish me luck!

Give some thought so I can apply that.
Build muscle and shift my belly?
I like to think I have a decent lifestyle, I eat well (could be better) and I go to the gym 5 times a week. My goal is to increase muscle strength and size. However, my gut is protruding like a strong man, of which I am not. Is it possible to shift the belly fat, but maintain my goal at the same time? All advice welcome TIA

I am not yet on insulin which is a win but have noticed my average glucose has, naturally, been on the rise due to eating more food (I keep carbs…
